The power of diplomacy #poem

 

when my son was assassinated –
from all sides we were attacked –
allies we had to recruit quickly –
and i had to take care of it for us –
.
by my wife they were scared –
especially those who had faced her –
she was fighting with great cruelty –
but my old identities I avoided –
.
to use them it was risky –
since it almost killed me –
but our enemies were hated –
and I was loved by many –
.
if my wife I kept away –
I can form a great army –
who can repel our enemies –
but to keep it then tighter –
.
compromises I had accepted –
and some allies thus comforted –
to our forces they have joined –
because a lot it had helped us –
.
to quickly prove our stability –
and with some we traded –
then a lot of alliances we forged –
what was our deserved victory –
